## Introduction

Sending unsolicited emails to any @ungleich.ch or related email
address causes costs for our staff.
For this reason we charge the following fees, if you send us either

* Unsolicited emails for marketing or advertisement purposes
* Unsolicited emails impersonating other people or organisations
* Unsolicited emails with vague or unclear payment requests

Explicitly *not* part of this fee are **all regular communications**.
See below for details.

## Am I a scammer/spammer / am I sending unsolicited emails?

The following examples show typical cases that we are charging with
this fee.

### Unsolicited marketing or advertisement

In case you are advertising your product to us without prior explicit
request from our side, you are spamming and subject to the

### Impersonation

If you claim to be somebody else than you really are, you are subject
to the fee. Typical impersonation claims are pretending to be a
government entity, a company or (weathly) private person.

Note: we do respect anyone who needs or wants to stay anonymous. We do
not consider using an imaginary name as impersonating, especially if
it is for safety issues.

### Vague or unclear payment requests

If you are sending us payment requests for whatever service, product
or tax and do not specify what product, service or consumption this
refers to, you are subject to our spam fee.

This includes general payment requests ("fake bills"),
unspecific payment requests ("money requested for an undefined
product/service") as well as
specific unidentifiable payment requests ("requests that reference IDs
or references that are not known to us").

## Fee reasoning

As the research of the actual sender as well as
verifying the (il-)legitimate cause of the request require significant
resources, our fees are reflecting the need of those resources.
